“If
it rings one more time, I’ll hang up,” Amy thought
hopefully, as she waited for someone to answer. Apologizing
wasn’t an easy thing to do.“Hello,”
a woman’s voice said. There was no backing out now.“May
I speak to Missy, please?”“Just
a minute.”In
much less than a minute, Missy was on the phone. “Hi,
who’s calling?” asked the cheerful voice.“It’s
Amy. I just wanted to tell you that I’m sorry about what I
said to you. I didn’t really mean it.” Amy paused,
trying to think of what to say next.“Thank
you, Amy. No hard feelings.”“Missy,
you’re a very nice person. You’re a lot nicer than
I am!”Missy
laughed. “You’re not so bad, Amy. By the way,
I’ve got some great news. Mr. Grumbell said that you were the
only candidate for class president. He talked me into being a candidate
too. Isn’t that cool?”Amy
didn’t think the news was cool. Missy was very popular;
she’d get a lot of votes. Fortunately, Amy was in a gracious
mood. “You’ll be a tough opponent,
Missy,” she said. “May the best woman
win.”“Thanks,
Amy,” Missy replied. “But you might even
win.”Amy
had to laugh. “Hey, I’m the one who’s
supposed to make comments like that!”
